Illustration Friday's theme this week is "insecte".
Mon amie, Damsel Fly, has obliged me by supplying her drawing of a special pollinator. It's no ordinary mouche and should not be confused with it's relative, le moustique (known to stephi as "flying moustaches").
Why you should love this fly:
1- Midges have no ability to bite and do not carry any human diseases.
2- Midges are superlative: la plus rapide! They beat their wings over 1000 times per second!
3- Midges are pollinating agents: Bonjour, cocoa tree! They are little chocolate makers!
Vive les moucherons! La joie du chocolat!
un insecte = insect
une mouche = fly
un moucheron = midge fly
un moustique = mosquito
mon amie = an exception to the rule, my friend (fem.)
L'illustration: "Chocobug" depicts a Midge Fly, also known as Forcipomyia

I like the simple clean lines of this. It looks like a logo for something, it has that small-and-meaningful feeling about it.
